Yes.Interface modules allow flexibility.All that is needed is the proper serial computer interface module or dongle with the right connections.Again, if a dongle is not available, an adapter such as a Raritan AUATC adapter, can be used to convert all serial connections to a standard PS2 keyboard and VGA monitor connection.
